Oh, dear. As Twitchy reported, Hollyweird celebs were in full hive-mind-mode over the failure of the Manchin-Toomey gun control legislation in the Senate. Actor and writer Wil Wheaton threw a temper tantrum, and model Chrissy Teigen had an epic meltdown. Now, it’s Bravo “Top Chef” host Padma Lakshmi’s turn, evidently.
Senator Begich, Senator Pryor, Senator Baucus and also you Senator Heidi Heiitcamp: shame on you!! What are you thinking?? #politicalsuicide

Dear US Senate,
Today I am ashamed for you. Sad 4 all of us. How many rounds of ammo do u need? Why not better BG checks?#nomoredeadkids— Padma Lakshmi (@PadmaLakshmi) April 18, 2013
And she joins the reprehensible ranks of those who politicize on the backs of dead children.
She then had a stint of retweeting.

@PadmaLakshmi It's sad and pathetic! Thx for getting in the mix! We need to demand some "testicular fortitude" of our elected leaders!

@PadmaLakshmi It's really unbelievable! It should be a no-brainer! #nomoredeadkids

“@Iceprincessma: @PadmaLakshmi amen” #concernedmoms

Concerned moms. Because, anyone who believes in the Second Amendment can’t possibly be a concerned mom. They are probably some of those gender-traitors and such.
@PadmaLakshmi I agree. I don't see the harm behind background checks. Something has to change. This is a sad week for news all around.

Oh, Padma. We’ll use a phrase that you might understand: Pack your ghoul knives and go, Padma.
